'1(^00 <br />^13- 0^,0 <br />To: City of Orono <br />From: Lance & Marti V7ile <br />615 Minnetonlca Highlands Lane <br />Long Lake, MN 55356 <br />Date: September 2, 1994 <br />Re: Zoning File #1944 <br />Notice of Planning Commission Action <br />Notice Date: 8/17/94 <br />,N <br />We hereby request the Orono City Council to delay action on <br />the above variance application until such time that the <br />discrepancies over the lot lines are resolved. <br />When lots 7, 8, fit 9 were transferred from the Matchettes to <br />Karen Fuller, this transfer was based on the 6/17/76 survey. <br />This survey indicates chat the Wile residence (615 <br />Minnetonka Highland Lane) was 47 feet from the lot line. <br />This same survey was used when the Etheringtons made the <br />offer to purcha.se lots i, 8, & 9. Therefore, they were <br />under the impression that the land was located 47 feet from <br />the Wile residence. <br />When the Wiles purchased their house in 1988, the purchase <br />was made based on the survey dated 8/14/75 which indicated <br />that the house was 44 feet from the lot line. Trees were <br />flashed many years ago, marking the lot line. One of <br />trees is 47 feet from the Wile residence. <br />tho <br />The most recent survey indicates that the Wile residence is <br />42.2 and 41.7 feet from the lot line. We do not believe <br />that this survey is correct. In addition, it appears the <br />Laues do not agree that the most recent survey is correct. <br />We would like to work this out with the prospective buyers <br />of lots 7, 8, & 9. We will be hiring a surveyor in order to <br />obtain a more current survey of our property. We will <br />advise the results of that survey when they are available. <br />One additional concern we have is that we have large trees <br />which border the property line. Because it appears a lot of <br />grading/earth removal will be required to install a <br />driveway, we ask that the 10' setback be observed for any <br />area where there is a tree that is a minimum of 10 inches in <br />diameter. This is to protect the root system of these well <br />established trees and to preserve the overall aestl.etics of <br />the existing neighborhood.
